Today is march 31 and i have still heard nothing.

it aint about the ps3! that was a mistake, It was originally PlayStation releated news! The announcement is the PS2 price drop!

People got pwned big time!

Do they expect the PS2 price drop to generate more sales than a PS3 price drop of equal value? I don't understand why they didn't drop the PS3 instead of the PS2, but all of this is just off the top of my head.

What was the price of a PS2 before this? Wasn't it only $129? So why were they hyping this up so much? A freakin 30 dollar price cut on an old system? Hooray?

Bbut thinkk abbbout the ppppoor ppeople. The pppor... They`d be glad for nnnews l-l-like theese.

I`m happy to hear maybe even kenny from southpark can afford a PS2.

$30 off a system that only seels 60k/week costs a lot less than $30 off a console that sells 170k/week.

In reality though, they now need to sell an extra 18k playstation 2's a week to be making the same amount of profit. (not including boosts in software sales, but they claimed they were getting rid of software liscensing fees too)

lol so true.

but on topic no it was all about the ps2 

like how there e3 will be about the psp.

It's interesting that they priced the PS2 down in that just selling the console doesn't drive much revenue for them. You need to sell games - and who is buying NEW PS2 games in large numbers? There's 2000 different titles on the used shelf to pick from at dirt-cheap prices. Seems odd to me.

Are they going to sell enough additional consoles and new games to make up for the $30x60k or $1.8 million they are giving up each week? Just seems odd to me.

sony sucks! whoever made that thread should have read the title before posting it !

yeah i think it was the ps2 drop but we new that since like sunday
